(01)Remote HR consultancy · India
HR that works.For companiesthat do.
Built for Indian companies, small and big. Hiring, policies, training, engagement, structure, and the senior thinking that ties it all together. Compliant by default.
(02)The quiet problem
Something is always quietly breaking.
It's rarely loud enough to stop everything. Until it is.
Or worse, you hired someone and they quit in week three. We rebuild the brief, run the search ourselves, and only count it as closed when the person is still there ninety days in.
We run honest exit conversations, and the harder one nobody runs: stay interviews with the people you can't afford to lose. You get patterns, not platitudes.
We diagnose the gap between what leadership thinks is happening and what the team is actually carrying, workload, clarity, recognition, manager quality. Then we name the two things worth fixing first.
We coach the manager through the conversation they've been avoiding, and design a 30-day path: re-engage, reassign, or part ways with dignity. Done properly, done quietly.
We mediate directly, neutral, structured, confidential. Where it's a POSH or grievance matter, we run the process by the book so you stay protected and the team stays whole.
We redraw the role with the person in it, scope, decision rights, who they hand off to. Then we update the org around it so the next hire doesn't inherit the same fog.

(05)In their words
Founders who stopped winging it.
(Names and company details anonymised at client request.)
We'd been trying to close a Head of Engineering for four months. Two offers had already fallen through. They got it done in six weeks and, more useful than that, sat in on the first month of 1:1s so the hire actually stuck.

Our handbook hadn't been opened since we were nine people. We're 140 now. They redid POSH, leave and the ESOP note in about a month, in language our ops team didn't have to translate. Diligence last quarter was the easiest part of the round.

I didn't think we needed a CHRO. We're 60 people. Two days a week of someone who's done this before has changed how my leadership team argues — and what we actually do after. Three people we'd have lost are still here.

- (01) Recruitment
The Hiring Brief Template
When a role is vague, the wrong candidates look right until it is too late. This is the one-page brief we use to force clarity before you open the search, so your team stops hiring on instinct and starts hiring against something real.

- (02) HR Policies
Plain-English Policy Pack
Running without clear policies feels fine right up to the day someone complains, resigns badly, or asks what the rule actually is. This sample pack shows you the minimum set that protects the company, gives managers a clear line, and stops avoidable mess before it starts.

The Hard Conversation Guide
Most managers wait too long because they are afraid of saying the wrong thing. By then the issue is bigger, the team has noticed, and the conversation is harder than it needed to be. This guide helps you handle it early, clearly and without making it worse.
